Chapter 1: The Mysterious Sarcophagus (Part I)
(There is only one chapter tonight, use the time to plan the plot development of the second volume)
Chu wolf protected the young wolf to avoid the falling gravel in the cave, and when the gravel fell, Chu wolf made a fire, and he carried the young wolf to the entrance of the cave.
The entrance to the cave had completely collapsed, and it was so tightly blocked that it was difficult to penetrate even the slightest light.
It is absolutely impossible for Chu Wolf to get out of this cave again.
Chu Wolf said to the wolf cub: "Little brother, we have to find a way, otherwise we will have to die here." ”
The wolf cub stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on the wolf's face again. And made a "whine" sound, as if hungry.
Chu Wolf has an optimistic personality and never admits defeat and accepts fate, although the entrance of the cave collapsed, Chu Wolf still does not give up hope, he holds the wolf cub and walks towards the depths of the cave.
Hopefully find an outlet.
The cave is deep, extending downward, and the deeper you go, the more you feel the cold invading the body.
Chu Wolf looked at the cave wall carefully as he walked, but to Chu Wolf's disappointment, he didn't see a gap that could penetrate the light.
I don't know how long it took, and the Chu wolf also came to an end.
Chu Wolf estimated that he had walked at least three miles.
And if he keeps going down, then he should be deep underground by now. The cave is also more humid, with the roof and walls of the cave constantly "ticking" and dripping.
There is also standing water in the hollows in the ground.
Chu wolf put the wolf cub down, and the wolf cub licked and drank the water in the recess. Chu Wolf also squatted down and drank some water with his hands. No matter how much he forcibly operated the internal force, the painful feeling on Chu Wolf's body was also reduced.
Chu Wolf looked at the end of the cave carefully, except for the damp and uneven cave wall, there were two big stones, and there was nothing.
Is he really going to be trapped in this Jedi!
Chu Wolf said to himself: The master bet all his bets on me, and Brother Hu died tragically for me, so I must not die, I have to live......
At this time, the little wolf was also full, and the wolf Chu tore off two pieces of his clothes and bandaged the injured part of it first. The little wolf howled at the Chu wolf and rubbed his head against the Chu wolf's face, and the Chu wolf understood that the little wolf was grateful to it.
The Chu wolf touched its head.
"Brother, do you have a way to get out of this damn place...... Let's rest for a while, and we'll examine every inch of this hole again, and if we don't swallow this breath, we'll have to find a way to live, right......?"
Suddenly, the little wolf in his arms made an aggressive sound, and his eyes looked at one place.
Chu Wolf turned around suddenly, only to see a mouse quickly fleeing behind a stone along the foot of the hole.
The stone was the size of a millstone.
Now that the rat is also food, the Chu wolf is ready to catch the mouse.
Chu Wolf plugged in the fire fold, and he put the little wolf down. The little wolf staggered over to the rock, and put a paw into the crevice, as if trying to catch the mouse out.
Chu Wolf said: "You are not a cat, how can you have that ability, let me help you." But let's catch it, we'll catch it......"
Chu Wolf walked to the stone, he forcibly lifted his strength again, and as his body twitched in pain, Chu Wolf also used his strength to push the stone with the size of a grinding disc away.
Unexpectedly, after pushing away the stone, a hole was revealed.
The diameter of the hole is three feet.
Hope suddenly rose in Chu Wolf's eyes, and he let out an excited cry.
The little wolf cub couldn't wait, dragging his injured body into the hole to chase the mouse.
Chu Wolf was even more energetic, he took the fire fold and bent down into the hole.
As he moved forward, the cave also became wider, and Chu Wolf was able to straighten his waist and walk.
Chu wolf and wolf cub walked forward along the cave, and after walking a stick of incense, Chu wolf and wolf cub came out of the other end of the cave. What appeared in front of Chu Wolf's eyes was a huge karst cave, which was two or three zhang high, and there were several smaller caves connected to it.
In the low recess on the west side of the cave, there is also a large pool, the size of a house. And there are also waterways around this pool that meander and flow. A thin hanging stream poured into the pool from the large hole in the bowl at the top of the cave, constantly stirring up a splash.
And there is a "crackling" sound in the water from time to time, as if something is slapping the water.
To Chu Wolf's surprise, there are two stone platforms at the east and west ends of the cave, two large stone troughs like iron pots on the stone platform, and there are two torch wicks as thick as infant arms in the stone troughs, burning flames to reflect the cave.
Under the action of the fire, the stones in the cave glowed with colorful light.
It feels like a dream.
There must be a fire burning in the cave, there must be someone in the cave!
Chu Wolf blew out the fire fold and put it away, and he also became alert.
At this time, the pool made another "crackling" sound, and a splash of water, and a large fish jumped out of the pool on the rocky ground.
The wolf cub ran over and bit the "snapping" flapping fish.
The wolf cub caught it several times before "subduing" the fish, and it grabbed it with its claws and bit it.
And fish!
When Chu Wolf came to the pool, he saw the shadows of the fish in the pool, countless large and small fish swimming around in the lush aquatic plants, and some fish also slapped the water surface with their tails from time to time, making a "crackling" sound.
This made Chu Wolf ecstatic, and he and the wolf cub at least didn't have to worry about starving to death.
How did Chu Wolf know that this pond of fish was arranged by the old man Shiyu. And a lot of fry were also released. Those two stone troughs are the everlasting lamps lit by the old man Shiyu, which can burn for several years.
Chu Wolf thought that there was someone in this cave, and he was going to search it carefully.
Chu Wolf first inspected the big karst cave, and there was no abnormality. Chu Wolf checked the small caves, the first one was not unusual, to Chu Wolf's surprise, there was a bed in the second cave, there was a set of bedding on the bed, and there was a table next to the bed.
There was also a teapot on the table.
There is also a wooden box next to the table.
Someone has lived here!
Chu Wolf could see that the bed and table were old.
Since it was in a deep cave, there wasn't much dust on these things.
Chu Wolf dragged down the quilt, because it was too old, the cloth was also bad, and Chu Wolf dragged off a piece of cloth, revealing the cotton wool inside.
Chu Wolf came to the last small cave, which surprised Chu Wolf even more, there was a sarcophagus in the cave.
A lantern burns on the wall of the cave above the sarcophagus.
The light was reflected on the sarcophagus, emitting a cold and faint light.
What the hell is this place?
Who lived here?
What's in the sarcophagus?
One question after another popped up in Chu Wolf's mind.
But there was one thing that made Chu Wolf excited, since there were people living here, there might be another exit, so Chu Wolf began to look for an exit.
As a result, after searching for two hours, Chu Wolf did not find an exit.
Chu Wolf returned to the cave where the sarcophagus was placed.
Chu Wolf exerted his strength and pushed the heavy coffin lid open.
The coffin was empty, and there were no bones.
There was a long white cloth at the bottom of the coffin, and Chu Wolf lifted the white cloth, so he saw that many words were densely engraved on the stone slab at the bottom of the coffin.
In particular, the four larger words are more conspicuous - Gong Hou Nine Questions!
